ObjectivesTo systematically review the efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) combined with chemotherapy for ovarian cancer.MethodsCNKI, VIP, WanFang Data and PubMed databases were searched to collect randomized controlled trials on the CHM combined with chemotherapy for ovarian cancer from inception to March 31st, 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and evaluated the risk bias of included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsThirteen studies were included. Meta-analysis showed that, CHM combined with chemotherapy group was superior to the chemotherapy alone group in effective rate of TCM syndrome (RR=1.72, 95%CI 1.46 to 2.03, P<0.00.000 1), effective rate of tumor change (RR=1.40, 95%CI 1.21 to 1.63,P<0.000 01), physical condition score (MD=9.19, 95%CI 5.89 to 12.48,P<0.000 01), tumor markers (MD=–18.00, 95%CI –20.62 to –1.538,P<0.000 01), leukocyte reduction (RR=0.67, 95%CI 0.58 to 0.77,P<0.000 01), granulocy tedepletion (RR=0.67, 95%CI 0.55 to 0.81,P<0.000 1), thrombocytopenia (RR=0.55, 95%CI 0.45 to 0.69,P<0.000 01), and digestive tract reaction (RR=0.66, 95%CI 0.50 to 0.87,P=0.004).ConclusionsThe current evidence shows that CHM combined with chemotherapy is superior to chemotherapy alone in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Due to limited quality and quantity of included studies, the above conclusions are required to be verified by more high-quality studies.

Methods A total of 32 patients with traumatic hemorrhagic shock were randomly divided into polygeline injection group and HES group,with 16 patients in each. The same measures such as hemstasis, expanding blood volume, correction of acid base disturbance and so on were adopted in the both groups. The patients in the polygeline injection group and HES group were respectively treated with polygeline injection and HES NaCl injection in a dose of 1500 mL by intravenous infusion. The time from injection to the recovery of BP, urinary output, and blood gas to normal level was recorded. Results BP, urinary output, and blood gas were all improved significantly, there was no significant difference between the two groups (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion The clinical effect of polygeline injection on stabilizing BP and improving microcirculation appears comparable to that of HES.
Lipid globules in retina and choroid are new definitions based on pathology and high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT). OCT examination shows that the lipid globules are low reflective circular cavities in the choroid and retina, without strong reflective boundaries around them, followed by a characteristic superreflective tail. It occurs in healthy human eyes and in age-related macular degeneration characterized by retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy. Its characteristic superreflective tail is the key to distinguishing it from other diseases. At present, the understanding of lipid globules is still in the initial stage. Although lipid globules can be observed in healthy human eyes, a certain prevalence rate indicates that they are associated with choroidal hypoperfusion and RPE atrophy. In the future, larger randomized controlled trials and longer follow-up time are needed to explore its pathogenesis, pathological characteristics and treatment prognosis.
ObjectiveTo observe the blood perfusion changes of peripapillary and macular vessels in patients with nonarteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION).MethodsRetrospective cohort study. Thirty-six eyes (19 affected eyes and 17 fellow eyes) of 19 patients with NAION diagnosed in People’s Hospital of Wuhan University from November 2017 to January 2019 were included in this study. There were 10 males and 9 females, with the mean age of 55.05±7.11 years. Forty eyes of 20 normal subjects matched with NAION patients were included as controls. BCVA, fundus color photography, SD-OCT and OCT angiography were performed in normal controls and repeated in NAION affected eyes at 1-2 weeks, 1-2 months, 3-5 months intervals. OCT quantitative measurements: average retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (aRNFL) of the disc and its superior values (sRNFL) and the inferior values (iRNFL), average ganglion cell complex thickness (aGCC) in macular region and its superior values (sGCC) and the inferior values (iGCC). OCTA quantitative measurements: average radial peripapillary capillary density (aRPC) and its superior values (sRPC) and the inferior values (iRPC), average vascular density of superficial retina (aSVD) in macular region and its superior values (sSVD) and the inferior values (iSVD), average vascular density of deep layer retina (aDVD), areas of foveal avascular zone (FAZ). The differences of OCT and OCTA quantitative measurements between NAION eyes and the fellow eyes and normal controls were comparatively analyzed. Independent sample t test, paired sample t test or nonparametric rank sum test were performed for comparison among three groups. Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis were used to analyze the correlation between RNFL and RPC, GCC and SVD, RNFL and GCC, RPC and SVD.ResultsAt baseline, the aRNFL, aRPC and aDVD of NAION patients were significantly higher than those of normal controls. Compared with the fellow eyes, the aRNFL increased significantly and the aRPC decreased significantly in NAION affected eyes. The overall differences of aRNFL, aRPC, aGCC and aSVD at four intervals within NAION affected eyes were statistically significant (P＜0.05). The average sRNFL, sRPC, sGCC and sSVD at 1-2 months interval were significantly lower than the average iRNFL, iRPC, iGCC and iSVD (P＜0.05). Correlation analysis: at 1-2 months interval, aGCC was positively correlated with aSVD (r=0.482, P=0.037); at 3-5 months interval, aRNFL was positively correlated with aRPC (r=0.631, P=0.037).ConclusionThere is a sectorial reduction of vascular density of peripapillary RPC and macular SVD with the disease progression of NAION.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the comprehensive evaluation methods applied to estimate the medical service performance based on diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) in China and to provide suggestions for the promotion of methods in further studies.MethodsLiterature published before May 2019 were searched in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, CQVIP and PubMed for studies about DRGs-based comprehensive evaluation. After literature screening and information extracting by two reviewers independently, qualitative approaches were used to describe the application of DRGs-based comprehensive evaluation methods in the performance evaluation of medical services.ResultsA total of 24 articles were included in the systematic review. Different indexes were used to evaluate the medical service performance. Delphi Method, expert discussion, Saaty’s Method and some other means were applied to determine the weights of indexes in 8 articles. Rank-sum ratio method, Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution and synthetic index method were proposed for the comprehensive evaluation in 9, 7 and 9 articles, respectively; besides, analytic hierarchy process and combination evaluation were also used.ConclusionsBased on DRGs, the choose of indicators, weighting approaches, and calculation methods of comprehensive values vary richly in different studies. More attention should be paid to weight using and combination of comprehensive evaluation methods in further studies. Meanwhile, the quality of information source used for estimation and the rationality of results application are supposed to be emphasized.
Objective To investigate the expression of eotaxin-1, eotaxin-2 and eotaxin-3 in ARPE-19 human RPE cells after exposure to light. Methods Cultured human RPE cells (5th~10th generations) were divided into lightinduced group and control group. Cells light-induced group were exposed to the blue light at the intensity of (600plusmn;100) Lux for 12 h to establish the light damaged model. Eotaxin-1, eotaxin-2 and eotaxin-3 mRNA and protein were determined by real time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24 hours after light-induced. Results In light-induced groups, mRNA levels of eotaxin-1 and eotaxin-2 were increased at 0 h (t1=6.05.t2=12.561) and 3 h （t1=2.95.t2=3.67） significantly(P＜0.05), but the mRNA level of eotaxin-3 had not changed （t3=1.57 and 1.00 respectively，P＞0.05） at that time. At 6 h （t1=4.73，t2=18.64，t3=28.48）, 12 h （t1=3.11，t2=20.62，t3=18.50）, 24 h （t1=8.25，t2=38.27，t3=18.60）, mRNA levels of eotaxin-1, 2, 3 were increased significantly （P＜0.05）. Except for the eotaxin-3 protein had not changed at 3 h （t3=1.28，P＞0.05）, protein expression of eotaxin-1, 2, 3 were increased significantly （P＜0.05） at 0 h （t1=4.85，t2=5.45，t3=6..21）, 3 h （t1=5.64，t2=4.55）, 6 h （t1=31.60，t2=6.63，t3=7.15）, 12 h （t1=14.09，t2=18.22，t3=15.76）, 24 h （t1=6.96，t2=10.47，t3=12.85）. Conclusion Eotaxin-1, eotaxin-2 and eotaxin-3 expression were increased after Light-damage, corresponding to the time after light exposure. Eotaxin-3 was the most prominent isoform.
Objective To explore the clinical practice effects of multi-disciplinary team (MDT) model led by enterostomal therapist in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic wounds. Methods Three types of subspecialty patients diagnosed and treated by the MDT team for chronic wounds in the Wound Care Center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University between January 2020 and December 2022, including MDT for diabetes feet, MDT for immune ulcer and MDT for other refractory wounds, were retrospectively included. The clinical data, healing rate, healing time, and satisfaction rate of patients were analyzed. Results A total of 176 patients were included, including 103 cases of diabetes foot, 31 cases of immune ulcer, and 42 cases of other refractory wounds. The healing rate was 71.84% in patients with MDT of diabetes foot, 74.19% in patients with MDT of immune ulcer and 78.57% in patients with MDT of other refractory wound. The average healing time was 18.10 weeks for patients with diabetes foot, 19.69 weeks for patients with immune ulcer, and 20.53 weeks for patients with other refractory wounds. The satisfaction rates of patients in the three groups were relatively high (>95%). Conclusion The MDT model led by enterostomal therapist can provide comprehensive treatment plans for difficult and complex chronic wound patients, improve the treatment outcomes of chronic wounds, and is worthy of further promotion and application in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of chronic wounds.
ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy of internal limiting membrane (ILM) flip coverage with ILM multilayer tamponade in the treatment of highly myopic macular hole-associated retinal detachment (MHRD). MethodsA retrospective clinical study. From November 2019 to June 2022, 53 cases and 53 eyes of MHRD patients who were examined and diagnosed at the Eye Centre of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were included in the study. Among them, 21 cases and 21 eyes were male and 32 cases and 32 eyes were female. The age was (55.28±11.40) years. The patients were categorized into two groups: the ILM coverage group (from November 2019 to September 2020) and the ILM multilayer tamponade group (from October 2020 to June 2022) based on their surgical procedures. The ILM coverage group comprised of 11 cases involving 11 eyes, while the ILM multilayer tamponade group comprised of 42 cases involving 42 eyes. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography were conducted. BCVA was measured using standardized international visual acuity charts and transformed to logarithmic minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity for statistical analysis. The affected eyes were all treated with standard transciliary flattening three-channel 23-gauge vitrectomy. The inverted ILM flap technique was combined with flap coverage in the inverted group, while the ILM multilayer tamponade group used circular ILM stripping to preserve the ILM in the macular area and ILM flap around the macular hole with multilayer ILM tamponade. Postoperative follow-up was carried out for a minimum of 6 months. Relevant examinations were conducted during the follow-up using the same equipment and methods as those used before surgery. The BCVA, as well as the closure of macular hole, resurfacing of the retina, and development of macular hyperplasia, were observed. ResultsIn the ILM-covered group, the macular hole was closed in 7 out of 11 eyes after 1 week of surgery. At 1 month after surgery, the macular hole was closed in all treated eyes. At 6 months after surgery, the macular hole was closed in 9 eyes, while 2 eyes were reopened. In 42 eyes from the ILM-multilayer tamponade group, the macular hole closed after surgery in 41 eyes. At 6 months postoperatively, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of eyes in ILM-covered and ILM-multilayer tamponade groups was 0.91±0.29 and 1.05±0.39, respectively, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups (t=1.140, P=0.260). The BCVA of the eyes in both groups showed a significant improvement compared to the preoperative period with a statistically significant difference (t=8.490, 13.840; P＜0.000 1); 6 months after surgery, 10 out of 11 eyes in the ILM coverage group had a restored retina with no detectable macular hyperplasia; 42 eyes in the ILM multilayer tamponade group had a restored retina, but 19 of these eyes had detectable macular hyperplasia. ConclusionsEither ILM flap coverage or ILM multilayer tamponade contributes to high myopic MHRD closure and improved visual acuity. Compared to ILM flap coverage, ILM multilayer tamponade results in higher and earlier rates of macular hole closure and lower rates of macular hole reopening. However, ILM multilayer tamponade may lead to a higher proportion of macular hyperplasia formation without affecting visual acuity recovery at 6 months after surgery.
